Show schools within:

3 miles is selected by default. Add your home postcode at the top to measure from your address instead of the district centre.

Straight-line distance only — not walking, driving, or an official catchment area.

Common questions in this area

  • Usually oversubscribed near here?

    In S66, 13 of 17 schools with admissions data are marked as usually oversubscribed on their cards. That is a historic demand signal — not a guarantee you will or will not get a place. Always check the local authority admissions rules and the school’s published PAN.

  • How far is the school run?

    Add your home postcode at the top of the page to see distances from your door. Until then, distances use S66 centre. All figures are straight-line miles — not walking or driving time, and not catchment areas.

  • What changed recently?

    School and area figures come from open government releases (mostly 2024/25 where published). 17 schools here have a last inspection date on their cards; 3 show a plain-English note when Ofsted published area judgements without an overall grade.

Guide to school and area statistics

What the numbers on this page for S66 mean. Area rows may still show (i) for data source and geography.

School listings

What you see on each school card

Only fields that appear on at least one school on this page are listed.

School type
How the school is run. For example academy, council-maintained, voluntary aided or free school.
Trust
The multi-academy trust or sponsor running the school, where it is an academy.
Age range
Year groups on roll. For example 4–11 for primary, or 11–18 with sixth form.
Ofsted
Latest published inspection grade, inspection date where we have it, and a link to the school’s page on the Ofsted reports site.
Straight-line miles
Distance as the crow flies from your home postcode when you have entered one, otherwise from the middle of this district. Not walking or driving time.
Walking, cycling and park-and-stride hints
Rough bands from straight-line miles: about 1 mile or less may suit walking; about 1–2.5 miles we show cycling and park-and-stride; over about 2.5 miles park-and-stride only. Not checked routes or journey times.
Pupils
Number of pupils on roll from published school census data.
Free school meals
Pupils eligible for free school meals. Often used as one indicator of economic disadvantage in the catchment. Useful context, not a comment on pupils or families.
SEN
Share of pupils with SEN support or an EHC plan. A higher figure can reflect inclusive admissions and experience, or more demand on staff. Check what is on site and talk to the SENCO.
SEN provision
Extra on-site support such as a resourced provision or SEN unit.
English as an additional language (EAL)
Pupils whose first language is not English. Many schools support this well; if English at home matters to you, ask how beginners are taught in class. Not a measure of overall quality.
Attendance
Share of possible sessions attended. Higher is better.
Persistent absence
Share of pupils missing 10% or more of sessions. Lower is better.
Admissions pressure
Indicative label from recent applications versus places — oversubscribed, about average or often has spaces.
Attainment
Primary: share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (Key Stage 2). Secondary: Progress 8. A dash means nothing was published for that school.
Attainment vs local
Compares each school’s headline to others of the same phase on this page. Above, below or about average for the district.
